I used to bunk off school at the gondola cafe round the corner from my house cuz it had a pool table. Went in there one day with no money, walked past the bandit, hit all the buttons and then hit collect and it paid out £10, couldn't believe it, it's safe to say we spent it all on pool and sausage sarnies!

I once won a punch on the nose for being a c0ck.
A valuable lesson was learned

Although on holiday in Barbados when me and my sis were little we were the only ones playing bingo round the pool.

Ah the gondola, that used to be my pre golf cafe

Haven't won loads but had a few little wins.

On my 18th birthday I went to coleshill for a few drinks before going into brum and put a quid in a fruit machine and won £28, this was 1988 so that paid for the rest of my night

Had £330 on the gee gees, £10 each way treble at Cheltenham, but two horses come in first I was with the wife in hospital at the time when my mate who put it on for me told me.

I've been the dogs 3 or 4 times and every time I've won enough so I haven't spent any of my own money.

Few £10 quid wins on the lottery.

My best and proudest was in junior school, my drawing won an area competition for two tickets to a show at the NEC which I promptly left in my desk so didn't go
Considering I'm not a good drawing person, it meant a lot

So i rush outside and open the garage to find.......

a bird table and a big book on birds, disappointed was not the word.
